"The food itself was quite good, closely aligning with a classic British tea but with some interesting twists. I felt quite satisfied with the overall portion sizes. The Sultanas Scone was sweet and had a great texture, served with a lovely lemon curd and cream. The Yorkshire Pudding with Sirloin was flavorful; the steak was excellent, and the pudding was fun and bready. It came with a bit of seasoned mayo, which I personally didn’t enjoy too much. The Smoked Salmon Mousse was pleasant with a great flavor and a nice quantity. My favorite savory dish was the Maine lobster roll, which was a perfect mini version with cucumber bits and just the right amount of mayo — I could easily eat ten of those! The Open Cucumber Sandwich was a standard preparation of a classic, nothing exceptional compared to other teas, but it didn't need to be. The Egg Salad was fine, though I found it a bit too creamy for my taste. For desserts, the Strawberry Cannoncini was small and nice, with flaky pastry, though it could have been a bit moister. It was well-filled. The Alfajores were like delightful little shortbread cookies filled with toffee, very interesting and enjoyable. The Earl Grey Panna Cotta was exceptional, coming with a tasty cookie, some cream, and an intriguing Earl Grey mousse. Overall, at $72, it was a bit pricier than I'd prefer. However, the exceptional service, lovely atmosphere, and good food make it worth a visit at least once."

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you This is a first-rate hotel The rooms are big and bright.
Vilma
We had an excellent stay here Our room was small but very clean We did find ourselves bumping into stuff, seriously, the room was tiny.

If you are looking for horrible customer service, management who couldn't communicate charges to save their job, and waiting 45 minutes for a breakfast then View menu

It's a beautiful venue, the service was excellent, the food was very good, creative, and substantial. We get better food at the Dunbar Tea Room on Cape Cod, but that's not a realistic alternative for most people who come to tea at the BPL.
Diem
Cold, uninspiring, and mediocre food. Breads were soggy and everything tasted a bit stale. I cannot believe I paid $90 for this! The service was alright (felt kind of rushed) and the room itself is lovely, but it is absolutely not worth it.
Golda
Great tea and the savory selection was delicious! The sweet options were not as appealing. The only major negative was that we got the check after sitting for an hour (we had only been driving our tea for 40 min) and felt pressured to leave. Extremely steep price for being semi-rushed out.

Amazing and fun high tea experience. If you like tea and if you like libraries then this is the place for you. Great tea service. I love the high tea. There is an emotional comfort and recharge that comes from a quality tea service. The Courtyard Tea Room delivers and exceeds any expectations.
Audre
$72 for a really fantastic experience! The food was actually very impressive. We had two savory plates and one desert. The tea was very high quality (tea connoisseur here), and the food actually tasted like it's actually high quality. We were very impressed. It's a must do at least once during your visit to Boston!
